Lyrics

I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
I look at the floor and I see it need sweeping
Still my guitar gently weeps

I don't know why nobody told you
How to unfold you love
I don't know how someone controlled you
They bought and sold you

I look at the world and I notice it's turning
While my guitar gently weeps
With every mistake we must surely be learning
Still my guitar gently weeps

I don't know how you were diverted
You were perverted too
I don't know how you were inverted
No one alerted you

I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
I look at you all
Still my guitar gently weeps

Oh, oh, oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

I look at you all see the play that you're staging
While my guitar gently weeps
Look at you all doing nothing but aging
Still my guitar gently weeps
(Harrison)
